Went to Bryson City this past weekend and decided to take the Jet Boat ride. This type of activity is not normally my thing but I had a fantastic time. The ride was great! So much fun and I liked that the driver stopped every now and then and talked to us about different stuff on the lake. This was... More

We had a great 4 mile hike on the Forney Creek Trail, down to Lake Fontana from the "Road to Nowhere", swam in the lake after a picnic lunch, then had a fast, fun jet boat ride back across the lake.

Enjoyed the 2-mile hike with staff who really enjoy their work, and made certain we enjoyed ourselves.

We did the Forney Creek combo hike and jet boat ride. Our guide on the hike, Claudine, was very knowledgeable about the local history and vegetation. She was also very engaged and made the hike fun for all of us. After the hike we had lunch and went for a short swim in beautiful Fontana Lake. After that, Nick picked... More
